Low Income Readers: DON'T Send Money
Some
of ICH's most ardent supporters are low income readers who willingly
share their resources in order that we may provide this service. While I
think that providing an independent source of news and information is
an important and valuable contribution to creating a more peaceful
world, I don't think that the weight should be carried by those less
able to bear the burden. I ask only that you may encourage others to
subscribe to our newsletter. http://informationclearinghouse.info/subscribe.htm

"The
only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion
cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation
it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters
pure." -- Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1823. ME 15:491

press is the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man, and

"This
is, in theory, still a free country, but our politically correct,
censorious times are such that many of us tremble to give vent to
perfectly acceptable views for fear of condemnation. Freedom of speech
is thereby imperiled, big questions go undebated, and great lies become accepted, unequivocally as great truths." -- Simon Heffer
